How generate a error code from C# dll to macro @error in AutoIt?

[Luigi]

Greetings, someone can give a exemple, how send a error from a C#'s dll to AutoIt?

I use this line, to send an error... but, I want get a error code In AutoIt with macro @error, it's possible?

 

throw new ArgumentException("arquivo map não existe", "value" );

In this way, work, I know ther are error, but, @errror always is zero.

I don't want this, I want a number as error code.

Can you help me?

 

Best regards

[Jos]

how do you call the dll? show the autoit3 code please!

@Jos, thank you for reply, this is the code:

Obs: this is not game automation, this is my game writed in AutoIt.

I want re-write some code in C#/dll.

AutoIt:

Global Const $sNameSpace = "Borius"
Global Const $sClass = "Engine"
Global Const $BORIUS_DLL = """" & @ScriptDir & "\borius.dll"""
ConsoleWrite($BORIUS_DLL & @LF)
Global Const $REGASM = "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe"
;~ RunWait($REGASM & " /unregister " & $BORIUS_DLL, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

;~ Global $PID = RunWait($REGASM & " /register /codebase /tlb " & $BORIUS_DLL, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)
;~ Global $PID = RunWait($REGASM & "  /codebase " & $BORIUS_DLL, @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)
Global $PID = Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & $REGASM & " /register /codebase /tlb " & $BORIUS_DLL, @ScriptDir,  @SW_HIDE, $STDIN_CHILD + $STDOUT_CHILD + $STDERR_CHILD + $STDERR_MERGED)

ProcessWaitClose($PID)
Local $sOutput = StdoutRead($PID)
ConsoleWrite($sOutput & @LF)

Global $wer = ObjCreate($sNameSpace & "." & $sClass)
If @error Or Not IsObj($wer) Then
    Local $sOutput = StdoutRead($PID)
    ConsoleWrite($sOutput & @LF)
    ConsoleWrite($sNameSpace & "." & $sClass & " @error[" & @error & "]" & @LF)
    Exit
Else
    ConsoleWrite($sNameSpace & "." & $sClass & " @ok" & @LF)
EndIf

The dll:

Instead of a void dll function, make it return an int to AutoIt containing a status code, e.g., 0=success, 1-n = various error codes. Capture this in your dllcall from autoit ($return=DllCall(...), $myErrorCode=$return[0]), and use SetError to fill the @error macro). Letting your dll write to console and AutoIt capturing that seems needlessly circuitous (and potentially error-prone), since dllcalls are designed to return information to the caller.

Thank you for your reply @RTFC, but I thinking dll writed in C++, you work like you say.

I my opinion, dll writed in C#, work throug COM (componente object model), see this:

http://forum.autoitbrasil.com/index.php?/topic/1869-criando-uma-dll-em-c-csharp/

Any "throw new xxxxxx" break the script, and not set AutoIt's @error.

Your way is smart, but I still unknow hos set @error code.

If I wrong, apologize-me, it's new for me.

Luigi, You are right. C# code is managed .NET code and a C# DLL-file is a .NET assembly DLL-file and can as such not be used by DllCall. DllCall can be used to call functions implemented in unmanaged code in conventional DLL-files like the DLL-files in the Windows operating system that implements Windows API functions.

C# is an object oriented language and everything is done through objects, properties and methods. To call a method in a C# DLL-file you create an object and executes the object method.

A general and easy way to set the @error macro when an error occurs in C# code is demonstrated in this pseudocode (cannot be run):

// Use a global variable and a separate
// function to pass an error code to AutoIt.

using System;
class Au3Class {
  int iErrorCode = 0;

  public int GetErrorCode() {
    return iErrorCode;
  }

  public void Method1() {
    iErrorCode = 0; // Initialize iErrorCode
    Console.WriteLine( "Method1 without errors" );
  }

  public void Method2() {
    iErrorCode = 0; // Initialize iErrorCode
    Console.WriteLine( "Method2 with an error" );
    iErrorCode = 1; // Set iErrorCode on error
  }
}

Example()
If @error Then
  ConsoleWrite( "@error = " & @error & @CRLF )
  Exit ; Exit on error
EndIf

Func Example()
  Local $iError

  $oAu3Class.Method1() ; Call the actual method
  $iError = $oAu3Class.GetErrorCode() ; Check error code
  If $iError Then Return SetError( $iError, 0, -1 )
  ; No errors, continue Example()
  ConsoleWrite( "No Errors" & @CRLF & @CRLF )

  $oAu3Class.Method2() ; Call the actual method
  $iError = $oAu3Class.GetErrorCode() ; Check error code
  If $iError Then Return SetError( $iError, 0, -1 )
  ; No errors, continue Example()
  ConsoleWrite( "No Errors" & @CRLF & @CRLF )
EndFunc
